I liked the M109R but after 300 miles I was just whipped from wind and ride and I am not getting any younger. Turning 66 years old in May this year and am looking forward to a nice smooth machine.

    Welcome to a great bike..I am in Michigan and retired from Ford. Got my bike a while back at Central Motorsports in Mt.Pleasant. Ride up by Cadillac occasionally..Perhaps we could "hook-up" later in year for a little ride...You will love the F6B, but a taller windshield will be something you want to check out...I have the 11"-19" Baggershield and it works great, no wind noise or turbulence and very quiet...Rice safe....

First aftermarket purchase was a 13" shield from C. Baily, but there are many good products out there. If you don't want to be beat up from the wind, replace the shield.

    Ride safe.
    I already told the dealer to take off that 10 cent windshield and put a two piece Bagger shield on it. I had a tall windshield on my M109R and am to old to change my diet to eating bugs on the highway....

    Welcome seadog!
    For smoother ride....
    1. Evaluate, procure seat to proper fit. Many find stock just fine, others like more of a "bucket" feel.
    2. Once seat is procured, get proper windshield
    3. Add lights for visibility
    4. Add farkles as required
